In the next two weeks, I will give three public lectures and Q&A
sessions, free and open to the public, at Brown University in
Providence, NYU Law School in Manhattan, and Northeastern University
in Boston. (Other events are to be announced soon for New Jersey, Long
Island and Southern California).

I sincerely encourage any and all vaccine-autism skeptics, critics,
agnostics and cynics living in the northeastern US to please consider
attending one of these talks, armed with all of your most pointed,
difficult and critical questions.

For my part, I will present slides showing evidence to support and
refute the link between autism, vaccines, mercury & heavy metals, air
pollution and other environmental factors.

My only arguments will be that the evidence is NOT conclusive against
a link, and it is premature to declare that vaccines and their
ingredients have been 100% exonerated as environmental contributors to
autism.

I hope to have a reasoned and enlightening public discussion with
members of the audience. Among the subjects we will tackle a
1) The Poling Case - in which the government conceded that vaccines
induced autism in one little girl, and updates on other court cases.


2) Brand New Evidence - of a link between mitochondrial dysfunction
and autistic regression, and evidence of mitochondrial issues in many
ASD kids.

3) Research Underway - at top universities on the connection between
environmental toxins, oxidative stress, glutathione depletion,
neuro-inflammation and autistic encephalopathy.

4) Declarations - By the US Presidential candidates and the former NIH
director that autism is epidemic and calling for more research into
vaccines and mercury as possible causes.

5) Recent Studies - Linking autism spectrum disorder with heavy metals
and contaminants in air pollution.

PS - REGARDING TIM RUSSERT:
I had the immense privilege of appearing on Meet the Press in August
on 2005. It was the highlight of my career and Tim Russert could not
have been kinder, more respectful, or more curious and open minded
about the topic at hand.

I was inspired to blog about here at the Huffington Post, and I am
proud to draw your attention to it here.

Mr. Russert will be sorely missed by millions.
